How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Popsicles
The main ingredients that make these vegan fudge popsicles UBER CREAMY are peanut butter and the full-fat coconut milk. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Thai Kitchen full fat coconut milk is my GO-TO. The consistency is BY FAR the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried a ton of different brands. You can also buy it organic if that is important to you. By no means do you have to use the Thai Kitchen brand for this recipe, but it is what I tested these fudgesicles.
- Start with the peanut butter cups. If you are making your own peanut butter cups, use this recipe! You’ll need to make these first before you start the base for the popsicles. You can also buy vegan peanut butter cups and cut those up for these creamy popsicles. I suggest having 5-6 on hand and then you can decide how many you want to add to the vegan fudge popsicles. Some vegan peanut butter cup brands you can buy to save on time are Justin’s, Theo, Free2Be (for a nut-free option) and Unreal Peanut Butter Cups.
- Once the peanut butter cups have been made, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut milk and vanilla extract into a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, add the cocoa powder and oat milk. Whisk until a thick but smooth consistency has formed. Add 1-2 more tbsp if a thick paste forms. Then add the peanut butter mixture to the chocolate mixture. Whisk/stir until it’s fully combined.
- For the popsicle mold, I suggest stainless steel or silicone molds. When ready,�?chop up 5-6 peanut butter cups and fold them into the fudgesicles batter. Then pour the mixture into 5-6 popsicle moulds, I found using a large measuring cup helped with the pouring process. Add a popsicle stick to each mould for a classic look, and freeze until solid (4 hours-overnight). Rinse the moulds under water to easily remove the chocolate popsicles. Option to drizzle the creamy fudgesicles�?with melted chocolate (dark chocolate melted with a little bit of coconut oil)
